Help me find my lost code!

Re: Help me find my lost code!

Actually, I found my code with a Google Groups search. The code is below,
but when I click on the hyperlink it briefly shows the content and then
sends me to the site's homepage. Any ideas?

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaS cript">

var counter1 = 0;
var counter2 = 0;
var counter3 = 0;
var counter4 = 0;
var counter5 = 0;
var counter6 = 0;
var counter7 = 0;

function ExpandHideConte nt(the_id, the_iframe, the_counter)
{
if (the_counter == "c1") { ++counter1; }
if (the_counter == "c2") { ++counter2; }
if (the_counter == "c3") { ++counter3; }
if (the_counter == "c4") { ++counter4; }
if (the_counter == "c5") { ++counter5; }
if (the_counter == "c6") { ++counter6; }
if (the_counter == "c7") { ++counter7; }

ifrm = document.getEle mentById(the_if rame);

if (counter1 == 1)
{
counter1++;
ifrm.style.disp lay = "block";
return;
}
if (counter2 == 1)
{
counter2++;
ifrm.style.disp lay = "block";
return;
}
if (counter3 == 1)
{
counter3++;
ifrm.style.disp lay = "block";
return;
}

if (counter4 == 1)
{
counter4++;
ifrm.style.disp lay = "block";
return;
}
if (counter5 == 1)
{
counter5++;
ifrm.style.disp lay = "block";
return;
}
if (counter6 == 1)
{
counter6++;
ifrm.style.disp lay = "block";
return;
}

if (counter7 == 1)
{
counter7++;
ifrm.style.disp lay = "block";
return;
}

if (ifrm.style.dis play == "none")
{
//alert(ifrm.styl e.display);
ifrm.style.disp lay = "block";
}
else
{
//alert(ifrm.styl e.display);
ifrm.style.disp lay = "none";
}

}
</SCRIPT>

The language attribute should not be used. Use type="text/javascript"
instead. This is required for validation, but won't solve the problem.

<snip lots of global variables>

Change this line (and the other lines in the function) to:
return FALSE; // capitalization is optional

<snip more code>

and follows the href when clicked. The called function should return false
in order to prevent the href from being followed. Currently it returns, but
not false.

Re: Help me find my lost code!

That made perfect sense, but it seems it is still going to the homepage when
I click on the links. You see the content for a split second, but then
returns to the homepage.

Did you mean to change something in the calling hyperlink, or just put the
"return FALSE" in the code?

Thanks,
Blair

No it's not; the case of the false keyword is, and can only be, lowercase.
If any of the characters are uppercase, the JavaScript interpreter will
try to find a variable of that name and capitalisation.

Nope, Javascript is case sensitive. "FALSE" is an unknown variable,
while "false" is syntax for a boolean value.
